Answer 1

The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

• visceral pain
• somatic pain
• referred pain
• phantom pain
• indigenous pain

Answer:

Somatic pain

Explanation:

Somatic pain is a type of pain that arises from the injuries in the skin, connective tissue, the skeletal muscles and joints.  The presence of nociceptive receptors in these tissue gets activated by the temperature, vibrations or swelling.

When the receptors get activated in the internal tissue of the musculoskeletal system that is in the joints, connective tissue causes deep somatic pain and the receptors in the skin, and mucous membrane then causes superficial pain.

Thus, somatic pain is the correct answer.
